#11940. Modern two-story house with a combined Wright-style facade

This is a magnificent example of modern architecture with clear influence from Frank Lloyd Wright's style. The house facade demonstrates an excellent balance between horizontal and vertical lines, where wide roof overhangs create a characteristic floating effect. The facade materials harmoniously combine red brick and light stucco, creating an expressive contrast.

Particular attention should be paid to the multi-level composition of the building with protruding volumes and terraces. The architectural ensemble is enriched by an impressive staircase with brick walls, which not only serves a functional role but also becomes a sculptural element in the foreground. Large windows with wooden frames create a rhythmic structure on the facade and provide abundant natural light to the interior spaces.

The landscape design of the plot organically complements the architecture: ornamental grasses in the foreground soften the geometry of the structure, while stone pathway slabs echo the textures of the facade. In the design of the outdoor space, there is a clear aspiration toward naturalness and minimalism.

For your own home, you can borrow techniques such as combining contrasting materials, multi-level composition, using horizontal windows to create rhythm on the facade, integrating architecture with landscape, and creating projecting elements to add volume and dynamics to the facade.
